Checklist: Do I need coaching?
"Nobody needs coaching" - I often say that and I mean it.
People need what coaching can give them:
- Clarity and new perspectives
- Support on the way to the goal
- the release of blockages.
It is sometimes not so easy to decide whether coaching is the right thing to do and, if so, to what extent.
That's why I've developed 10 questions that can help you make a good decision: .
Coaching decision checklist: 10 questions
Part 1: Acute challenges
- Do my thoughts often revolve around the same problems?
- Am I struggling with fears and blockages and have not been able to resolve them on my own?
- Do I finally want to give up certain bad habits?
- Am I unhappy with my life or a certain situation, but don't know how to make it better or know how but can't get it right?
- Do I want to cope better with stress in relationships and at work?
Part 2: Wider perspective
- Do I fail to fulfil my New Year's resolutions almost every year?
- Do I have goals and visions that I have not yet achieved, e.g. losing weight, tidiness, career, partnership, spirituality?
- Am I dissatisfied with my status quo and do I wish I could fulfil my potential better?
- Are there patterns and habits that I use to sabotage myself again and again?
- Do I have the feeling that my life as it is right now doesn't suit me or am I worried that at the end of my life I might say: I didn't live the way I actually wanted to?
If you've answered "no" to everything and are mastering the challenges you face confidently on your own, that's just wonderful. Congratulations.
But if you answered "yes" to one or more questions, congratulations.
You have taken a realistic inventory and can clearly see where you would like to see change. This is the first step towards improvement.
And you don't have to tackle it alone. In all the areas above, coaching can help you to stop getting stuck, unravel the knots and move forward.
Clarify three bonus questions
- Am I prepared to talk openly about my wishes and difficulties?
- Do I believe that another person can help me?
- Can I and do I want to invest in my change?
If you have "yes" three times here, you can choose between two types of coaching.
Coaching as support for acute challenges.
Coaching helps you to see the wood for the trees. A good coach can help you dissolve fears, blockages and disruptive behaviour patterns - for good.
A professional coach can help you find solutions if you are unable to make progress on your own.
Great progress can often be made in just one to four hours. After a coaching session, your vision is clearer, your fear has disappeared and you have developed practical strategies for moving forward.

Coaching for your goals and strengthening your potential
You are often frustrated because you know that you have more potential but are unable to realise it. You would like to be more successful at work or in your own business, but you are not getting anywhere.
You've wanted to get fitter, slimmer, friendlier or more confident for a long time, but you haven't managed it yet despite your efforts - then a longer period of support from a coach could be just the thing.
Professional athletes, but also business people, have coaches who help them progress, encourage and strengthen them. I myself have two coaches who help me to become stronger, more successful and more confident.
A good coach can help you overcome inner limitations and realise your full potential. They can be the decisive factor in ensuring that you get the success you deserve for your efforts.
If you would like longer-term support to achieve your goals, you can arrange a free initial consultation in which we will talk about your goals and consider whether and in what form coaching might be suitable for you.

The following applies to everything: coaching costs time and money. But those who don't treat themselves to coaching often pay an even higher price: by chewing on problems unsuccessfully for much longer than necessary, they may lose much more energy and money than necessary.
That doesn't have to be the case.
I look forward to getting to know you and accompanying you as a coach!
